While the media and politicians make people fearful of having firearms in the home, Ammo.com dug in and created a fact-based report to clear the air. Naturally, their findings largely debunk false information from the gun-control lobby.
According to recent surveys, 81% of gun owners and 57% of non-gun owners feel safer with a firearm in the home. However, there is much debate about whether this is rooted in evidence.
The two greatest concerns about whether a firearm in the home keeps people safe are unintentional shootings and domestic violence. Let’s look at some stats.
You may be pressed for time, so here are a few of the most important highlights:
- Of 17,215 homicides in 2022, only 15% of homicides were committed by a family member or domestic partner.
- There are approximately 49,000,000 households with firearms in the U.S., and only 600 unintentional shootings yearly.
- Fewer than half of all homicides in the U.S. where the victim was murdered at home involved a firearm.
- Twenty-one states have safe storage laws where a homeowner can be punished for having unsecured firearms in the home or if a prohibited person accesses one in the home.
- 0.002% of children who were in a home with a loaded and unsecured firearm were killed in an accidental shooting incident in 2022.

OBiden has whipped black discontent up into a murderous hatred of white people. News stories show its not enough for black people to just kill you, they have to gang up on white people and beat, torture and mutilate their victims before killing them.
Everyone should ammo up and be ready to defend themselves. American is fast becoming South Africa in terms of black vs white “relations”.
Try not to have more than three different calibers for each type of firearm. It simplifies things a great deal, especially if you have to reload.
